What is CityNews U?
Over the years, we’ve stumbled across some fantastic resources that changed the way we thought about the many complicated aspects of local government. We couldn't let these great books just sit on some shelf somewhere in an Amazon warehouse, we knew it was time to share all of this great information with our wonderful readers.
With that in mind, our staff pooled our collective knowledge and came up with a definitive list of our favorites.
